The fact this thread involves people praising Wes Anderson and dissing Kubrick makes little babies around the world cry.
Come on, now. I like both filmmakers. They've both made good stuff. All right, so Kubrick may be better, but that's no reason to diss Wes Anderson.

Stephen King similiarly resented him for what he did to "The Shining." It was a pretty personal story about his alcoholic father and Kubrick pretty much turned it into a meaningless mess.
No, no, no. Kubrick IMPROVED on Stephen King's work. King is an okay writer, but he's nowhere near the caliber of Stanley Kubrick. The film adaptation of
The Shining was much scarier and more interesting than the novel or the later miniseries, which were still pretty good, but not masterpieces to Kubrick's level.
And if you'll take a look at my avatar, you'll note another instance in which there was a disagreement between a filmmaker and the creator whose work was being adapted for the big screen. Like King and Burgess' disagreements with Kubrick, nothing ever came of this one, except for the original author making an ass out of himself (in the case of
Fritz the Cat, Ralph Bakshi injected some political satire into the film adaptation that Robert Crumb never would have thought of, and made the character a less despicable feline, and so, since Crumb saw another person improve on elements from his own work, he ended the series by having an ice pick stabbed into the back of Fritz's head).
